Education
Moscow State University.
Moscow State University.
His primary scientific interests reside in the field of biochemistry of nucleic acids, and protein biosynthesis. In 1957 together with Andrey Nikolayevich Belozersky (Андрей Николаевич Белозерский) he conducted comparative analysis of bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid and Ribonucleic acid, and predicted existence of messenger Ribonucleic acid. He gave the first qualitative description of the structure of high-polymer Ribonucleic acid (1959-1961). In 1963 he discovered the structural transitions of ribosomes and formulated one of the principles of structure of ribosomes.
He discovered an artificial ribosomal self-assembly (1963-1966).
Proposed a molecular mechanism of the ribosome role in protein synthesis (1968). He conducted an extra-cellular protein synthesis on modified ribosomes — non-enzymatic translation (together with LP Gavrilova) (1970-1974).
